even if the project as a whole is expected to be profitable.

True or false: If a project qualifies for revenue recognition over time and the project as a whole is expected to be profitable, a loss should not ever be recognized in a given period along the way.

Ronin Corp. recognizes revenue over time related to a long-term contract. The contract price is $5,000,000, total expected construction costs are $3,000,000, and actual costs incurred during the first year are $300,000. Actual costs for year 2 are $900,000 and estimated cost to complete is $1,800,000. The amount of previously recognized revenue is $500,000. Revenue recognized for year 2 is:

$1.5 million

Jones signs a three-year contract to construct a new office building for Smith. The contract price is $3 million and estimated cost $2 million. For year one, Jones recognizes $1 million of revenue and $800,000 of cost. During year 2, Jones incurs $1.2 million in cost and estimates that during year 3 an additional $1.1 million will be necessary to complete the project. Actual costs incurred during the third year were $1.2 million. For year 3, Jones should recognize a loss of:

$100,000 Reason: the additional costs for year 3 over the estimated costs represent an additional loss

$210,000 Reason: The cost-to-cost ratio for year 2 is $300,000/$500,000 = 60%. $600,000 x 60% = 360,000 -150,000= 210,000

$30,000 loss Reason: In year 1, the project is 50% complete and the expected total gross profit is $200,000. The company would have recognized $100,000 of gross profit in year 1. In year 2, the project is 70% complete and the expected total gross profit is reduced to $100,000. A total of $70,000 gross profit should be recognized at the end of year 2. $100,000 was recognized in year 1 so a $30,000 loss is recognized in year 2. $100,000 year 1 gross profit less $30,000 loss = $70,000 gross profit to date.

Linx Corp. recognizes revenue over time to account for long-term construction contracts.

What is the gross profit or loss recognized in year 2?

$65,000 loss Reason: In year 1, the project is 40% complete and the expected total gross profit is $500,000. The company would have recognized $200,000 of gross profit in year 1. In year 2, the project is 45% complete and the expected total gross profit is reduced to $300,000. A total of $135,000 gross profit ($300,000 x 45%) should be recognized at the end of year 2. $200,000 was recognized in year 1 so a $65,000 loss is recognized in year 2. $200,000 year 1 gross profit less $65,000 loss = $135,000 gross profit to date.
